As part of the partnership, Viamoo will supply Citybike Global with over 5,100 [smart e-bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-cycling-system), which can be connected to the company's new technology platform. Once launched, the e-bikes will be available to citizens 24 hours a day, all year round and will be connected to a flexible management system for easy rental.
